Explore the intricate mechanisms of urine concentration and dilution, AVP-dependent water permeability, countercurrent flow, exchange, and multiplication in regulating sodium and water balance. Learn about pathologies like SIADH and diabetes insipidus, neural and humoral controls, and causes of hyponatremia and hypernatremia.

Countercurrent SYSTEM • 1. Countercurrent flow: • direction – anatomy • 2. Countercurrent exchange: • vasa recta • 3. Countercurrent multiplication:tubules
1. Countercurrent FLOW • * Hairpin configuration - anatomical - loops of Henle (tubules) - vasa recta (capillaries) • * Descending limbs close to ascending limbs • * Fluid flow in opposite directions TAL DVR tdloop AVR
2. Countercurrent EXCHANGER • * Vasa recta (capillaries) - Countercurrent exchangers - Passive process depends on diffusion of solutes & water in both directions across permeable walls of the vasa recta
3. Countercurrent MULTIPLIER • Loops of Henle (tubules) • * countercurrent multipliers • - Pumping solute creates a large • axial gradient • - Establishes hyperosmotic • medullary interstitial fluid ISF Osmotic gradient

Regulation of Sodium and Water Balance
Regulation of Arterial Blood Pressure BP = CO x TPR
Regulation of Arterial Blood Pressure BP = CO x TPR HR x SV
Regulation of Arterial Blood Pressure and Total Body Water / Sodium Balance Neural Control
Sympathetic control mechanisms regulating arterial blood pressure and sodium/water excretion
Renal nerves contribute to segmental renal tubular sodium reabsorption
Renal nerves innervate the afferent renal arterioles: 1 receptor activation: renin release 1 adrenoceptor activation: vasoconstriction
Reduction in arterial blood volume activates the renal sympathetic nerves to enhance renal tubular sodium reabsorption
Regulation of Arterial Blood Pressure and Total Body Water / Sodium Balance Humoral Control - Angiotensin II - Aldosterone - Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP)
Angiotensin and aldosterone enhance the renal tubular reabsorption of sodium UNaV
Chronic high salt diet reduces plasma renin (and Ang II) and increases plasma atrial natriuretic peptide levels High NaCl intake
Volume expansion: Integration of neural and humoral pathways to augment sodium and water excretion
Volume contraction: Integration of neural and humoral pathways to reduce sodium and water excretion
Deranged neural and humoral control in congestive heart failure
Regulation of Arterial Blood Pressure and Total Body Water / Sodium Balance Humoral Control AVP = ADH
Hypothalamic control of vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone) secretion
ADH secretion is more sensitive to changes in plasma osmolarity than to changes in blood volume
At plasma AVP levels that evoke thirst, water reabsorption and urine osmolality are already maximally increased
